Trump Clings to Wiretap Claim 'Like a Drunk to an Empty Gin Bottle' - WSJ Editorial

March 25, 2017

CNBC News quoted a Wall Street Journal editorial from last week that called into question President Donald Trump's credibility by his insistence that former President Barack Obama wiretapped Trump Tower, despite near-universal doubt.

 

In a week that could have been smooth sailing for Trump, the Journal said the president instead, "clings to his assertion like a drunk to an empty gin bottle, rolling out his press spokesman to make more dubious claims."

 

On Monday, FBI Director James Comey testified that there was no evidence to support the President's claims about wiretaps leading up to the 11/9/16 election.
